Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Signs of the Power and Oneness of AllahAllah reminds us of His grace towards His creation in that He has given them the night in which they rest and relax from their activities so that they can go back to them for their livelihood during the day. He has given them the day with its light, so that they can undertake their journeys and engage in their business.
